sunflower field
Late summer at 22 Acres Farm means golden fields, fresh air, and buckets full of sunshine. Whether you’re looking for a fun afternoon outing, a picture-perfect backdrop, or a place to slow down and enjoy the season, our sunflower field offers a peaceful and joyful farm experience for all ages.
Join us for our You-Pick Sunflower Experience, where families, couples, and friends are invited to stroll through blooming sunflowers and pick your own stems straight from the field. Sunflowers make wonderful gifts, table decor, or keepsakes from your visit to the farm.
This is a perfect spot for families or engaged couples to take photos and provides a perfect opportunity for an engagement!
Sunflowers typically bloom for a short window in late summer, so dates are limited and dependent on weather and growing conditions. We’ll share exact opening dates, hours, and pricing on our website and social media as bloom time approaches.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the farm!
- Pick more than one flower! See the Ticket Shed for the quantity and price of additional flowers
- Download the iNaturalist app on your phone and become a Naturalist for the day! Take photos of the flowers and insects that you see during your visit. It’s an easy way to connect with nature and provide valuable data for scientists to research.
- Walk the paths. Walk all of them! Different views on each path.
- Take LOTS of photos!

ACTIVITIES TO DO AT THE FIELDS
Depends on the type of experience you are looking for. If you want a more garden feel and quiet time in the sunflower fields to sit and enjoy nature, we encourage you to come on a week day. Saturday’s are always our busier days.
best time to visit
- All dogs MUST be on a leash at all times - no matter the size or age. Even if you carry your furbaby, they must have a lease attached to them at all times.
- Please bring your own poopbags and pick up after your dog. We have too many visitors to allow poop in our fields.
- The dogs are NOT allowed inside the buildings on the property - no exceptions. Dogs stay outside.
- Please do NOT allow your dogs near any of the farm animals. We do have chickens that free range.
- Our farm staff’s priority will be the safety of our farm animals, other customers & dogs. You will be asked to leave if these rules are not followed.
- Pets other than dogs will not be allowed in the sunflower fields.
Dogs. horses & other pets
Please stay off all wood, wire fencing, and gates. We need the fence for our animals. Most of the time, we don’t know or realize that it’s broken until an animal gets out. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

The field is relatively flat. The parking lot is also a flat field. We will have handicapped parking close to the field. If you need assistance, please let us know via email 22acresfarm@gmail.com before your arrival. Please indicate the day and time you will be visiting.
handicapped accessible
Our honey bees LOVE the sunflowers, the lavender, and pollinator garden! They will be out working during your visit. It’s fascinating to watch and you might get to see a bright yellow honeybee because it’s covered in pollen! If you are allergic, make sure you are prepared. The bees are busy doing their own thing and are not out to harm you but accidents happen. Be prepared. If you do get stung, please let us know at the ticket shed or store so we can get you some ice or provide additional assistance if needed.
We will have honey for sale in our consignment store. We do not offer tours of our hives and you probably won’t see our hives from the sunflower fields.

Strollers and small wagons are permitted in the fields. Small feet get tired - let them ride!
kid carriers
The Barn (our venue) will not be available for unscheduled tours but you can take a peek inside the upper level (please don’t cross the ropes). If you are looking for a venue for an event, please visit the WEDDINGS section of our website for more information. A tour must be scheduled ahead of time by clicking the tour button on our website
our venue
There is onsite parking. Follow the parking lot directions and park in designated parking spots. Please do not stop on the road or in the driveway to take pictures - it’s dangerous and it is too congested. We are located on a “busy” country road. Please pull into our parking lot & park in a spot if you need to stop. We don’t mind — we would prefer it over causing an accident!
parking
There are many paths throughout the sunflower fields. Please stay on the paths. Use The Barn as a point of reference as it’s the tallest building on the property.
Walking paths
- Each person can leave with 1 sunflower - even those under 4.
- Additional sunflowers can be purchased during check-in when you arrive.
- Please only pick those you intend on taking and leave the sunflowers for others to enjoy.
- Bring a set of clippers or you may purchase clippers at the ticket shed for $6.
- If you are traveling a distance, remember to bring something that can keep the stems moist. We do have water available but it might be difficult traveling with a bucket full of water.
